These are the wheels I'm considering btw:

18x7.5 +35 offset



Look like this mounted:



As for tires, I was considering the Super Sports you mentioned, as well as the Pilot Sport 4S. Although I'm not really sure how much difference between the two I would able to feel since my experience is pretty limited. Isnt the 4S just the newer version?


Thanks!


I like the look. They actually come staggered. 18x7 & 18x7.5. they suggest 215/225 stagger.

You could buy (if they will sell them) four rear wheels. This is what I would suggest if you have to have these wheels. Not being able to rotate is a pain.


Plus, like I said before, I really think a 18x8 all around is better than 18x7.5. There are a ton of wheels in the $260 ea. price range. Plus they are cast. TSW has forged wheels that are very close to this price. You may like the Interlagos.


This info on the page says the center bore is only 54mm. This can't be right? Because our cars have a 56.1 center bore. Has everyone bored their wheels that has them on a twin? IDK...




IIRC, The MPS4S is the newer version of the MPSS. It also have a 320 tread wear compared to 300. The tires seem to be slightly narrower and lighter weight in some sizes I have compared.
